If that’s the case, he’s probably deployed the Companion App weight loss method mid-race
Well that 1st one was horrible
4.5wkg Avg and only finished 57/70
Yeah I’m not sure I can go again.
Found it really difficult to sit in the pack.
Was 7th on screen, 10th on results. Wasn’t expecting 80 riders!
Look at the profile of this next one at 18.30- it’s just 2 climbs and 2 descents. I’m going to give it a go but wish I’d saved the legs
You can draft most of climb.
Keep power on over the top tho!!!
I decided those races wouldn’t suit me with my weight and lame sprinting ability. Need to do a swim instead.
Enjoy the second race
More punishment! Dropped halfway up 2nd climb, 40th
Edit: no wait, looks like 39th and -4 points didn’t expect that
You guys are utter gluttons for it
Loved that one. Helped split things up first time up.
Finish was difficult to time.
5th at line I think. Went a bit late
Ooh few points on that one. Down to 184.
Still behind Patrick mind. Who rolled in 30 places behind me on race 1
Nice
Your cadence at the end 150
But that’s how you do it!!!
Same with the “oh my crit! Doubles”
Use race 1 as a warm up, smash the second race when everyone is tired.

NOW you tell us
Patrick didn’t even turn up for race 2
Now you sound like my colleagues
What’s weird, first race hit 137 and felt it need another gear as was just spinning. That one I didn’t notice at all like I was spinning out.
Hope there’s more races on the that course. Think you can slingshot early on that finish and hold it.
Fondo kit is Ukrainian flag colours
Cheers for the ride on @mw22
Double draft is a JOKE!
39kmh for 2.4W/kg
That was an unexpected 8min climb at the end
Ended up being 246W for 38.5km/h, which is 2.8W/kg.
Mainly due to the final climb and me only having 90 minutes
I did enjoy this, although I’m about 10kg heavier than my second best 90 minute power. So not sure it count.
Seeing as I can’t run properly, I’m gonna do Staff at >3.2W/kg and see what happens
Just about to do a half PRL race, more route ticking and to get a longer ride in. Didn’t fancy the four horsemen. Was thinking of Tire-Bouchon as it’s the only one left in France.
Not a big field so not expecting much assistance.
Scratch that, legs are toast from the parkrun and I couldn’t even keep up on the first climb so it’s a steady plod round France to tick off this miserable route!
